It’s been a long time since I was in school, but I was constantly accused of cheating by various software programs and teachers, when I did all the work myself. I don’t know how to tell if students are actually using AI or not, but the false-positives of these detection systems are no joke.

I think they are right to stress over them.

Thank you for providing links to content!

Wow, good on Ubisoft. I usually don’t trust them, so I do wonder if they are trying something shitty, but this seems cool.

They totally can. They just don’t really care, because they are mostly funded by advertisers.

Wait, I can use an rss feed for this content? where?

I’ve always thought that moving to the internet was the worst thing to happen to consoles. Now they have all the downsides of PC gaming, with all the downsides of console gaming.

I’m fairly happy with my Linux phone. Not too worried :P

Why would they go after their friends and bosses?

So 99% sure this is fake and never happened…

You can tell its fake, because its greentext

I’m not sure you do. You just referenced a document where you didn’t know half of what what going on under Biden.

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

Although I agree with you, I had that issue well before AI was a thing:

“I dunno, I just copied it from this StackOverflow post…”

<cut to me raging that someone would do that>

Agreed. I think they should have pushed for stronger disclosure requirements, but I also realise that isn’t actually enforceable.

I also find it very telling that people will talk about the negative parts of AI, but not acknowledge other automation tools that perpetuate the same problems. My experience is that most people’s complaints have a real basis, but they are just mis-diagnosed.

The problems seem to be our economic and societal structures, and AI is the new fancy tool that exacerbates those problems. But I’ve not heard a good reason why AI itself is that problem.

Well, if you ignore the bad things that someone does, then I can see how this can be confusing. I participate in US news discussions all the time, that’s how I know that Biden is a terrible person, who did terrible things.

If you want to be less confused, I’d recommend that you do the same.

Can you at least try to answer my question?

You laid out a set of criteria: “…wage theft, human suffering, environmental destruction and empowerment of the oligarchies”

All of the examples I gave meet that criteria. Why is AI different?

Come on, be honest.

Not really, no. Like I said, they were very similar.

And I don’t understand how you can see them do the above listed things, and claim that there is an “enormous gulf between the two primary options”. Yes, there are minor differences, but to say there is an “enormous gulf”, serously downplays how evil and monsterous Biden was.

Liberals refusing to see how evil and monsterous their politicians are, is one of the reasons that other monsters like Trump keep getting elected.

Different doesn’t mean Biden was good, just that he was so much better than the alternative.

“so much better” is where we disagree. The dude was a monster.

Did his administration blow up ships in international waters with no approval?

Not that I know of. But he sure did that to innocent people on land.

Deport citizens arrested by ICE to third-world countries with no trial and refuse to bring them back?

Yes

Dismantle USAID, killing multiple thousands of people?

Nope, but he forced people back to dangerous offices, killing thousands. He backed a genocide, killing multiple thousands. Bombed the hell out of who-knows-how many people. I don’t really care what tool someone used to kill others, I care that they killed others.

Remove protections from federal land and allow nature to be destroyed? Arrest citizens for using privacy features on their phones? Violate the first-amendment rights of national television broadcasters?

Yes

Let goons run around with full illegal access to every government database?

Yes

Deny healthcare to women based on their marital status?

No, but he sat back and did nothing when that happened, and had the full power to help them.

Beat and jail people protesting ICE raids?

Yes

Lie, cheat, scam, rape, steal, corrupt, and otherwise destroy anything they get their hands on?

Yes

I could go on, but it’s clear that you are ignoring my point: We were talking about “meaningfully different results”. Just because Biden didn’t do the exact same things as Trump doens’t mean that Biden gave us “meaningfully different results”.

Most of it worked fine. I only ran into trouble once I started trying to run it on Raspberry Pi’s (which they have since started supporting).

But my laptops and desktop-servers didn’t have any driver issues that I remember.
